A young fella from Alabama was stopped by a game warden in LA (lower
Alabama) recently with two ice chests of fish, leaving a small lake well known for
its fishing. The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch
those fish?"
"Naw, my friend, I ain't got no license...don't really need one, nope.
These here are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?"
"Yep...pert' near every night I take em' down to the lake and let em' swim
'round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump rat back into this here ice
chest and I take 'em home."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"
The young fella looked at the game warden for a moment then said, "It's the
truth my friend. I'll show you. It really works."
"Okay, I've GOT to see this!"
The young fella poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"
"Well, what?" said the fella.
"When are you going to call them back?"
"Call who back?"
"The FISH."
"What fish?"
We in Alabama may not be as smart as some, but we aren't as dumb as most.
